Chapter 113 112. Baby’s name chosen by drawing lots!
"What's the baby's name?"
"Yeah, what's the baby's full name? Baby Lei? Or Baby Zhou?"
When Zhu Zhuer, Miao Fulang, Zhu Dahu and other uncles, aunts and grandfathers were teasing the baby, they suddenly thought of this question and looked at Lei Li and Zhou Yi.
"I haven't decided yet."
Lei Li shrugged.
He and Zhou Yi had been thinking about it since before the baby was born. Now the baby is one month old, but they still haven't come up with a name that both of them are satisfied with.
"How about letting the baby draw lots?"
Meng Luo suddenly had an idea and said excitedly, "Everyone think of a few names with good meanings, put them in the crib, and let the baby grab one by himself. He will be named whatever he grabs!"
"That's good too."
Zhu Qingshan nodded and said, "The wealthy family I worked for before chose names for their children in the same way. They didn't name their children until the first month of their life. It wasn't too late."
"become."
Liu Ye'er also nodded.
As long as it is a good name with good meaning, it doesn't matter whether it is given by the father or anyone else. Some people even specially ask scholars or prestigious elders to give the name and Chinese characters.
For example, Mr. Zhu was not satisfied with his original surname - Zhu, so he paid someone to change his surname to Zhu, which means wealthy and powerful, hoping that his descendants would be rich and prosperous in the future.
"Then let's all write a nice name, fold it into a small paper ball, and let the baby grab it!"
As Meng Luo spoke, he excitedly found paper and pen, and asked them one by one if they had any good names. After writing one, he folded it up. Lei Li and Zhou Yi also chose the one they liked best.
Zhu Da Hu and Lei Li's uncle felt that they were uneducated and could not think of any good names. Chen Xiangrang felt that his own names were not nice, so they did not participate.
My grandparents had the same name - An, which means peace and safety.
Liu Ye'er and Lei Dashan also each thought of a name, smooth, safe and successful, harmonious, peaceful and happy, whether it is the surname Lei or Zhou, it sounds good.
This was created with the help of Zhu Qingshan, after they flipped through many books and learned many words.
Liu Qishu and his husband were not very good at naming, and they had a hard time coming up with names for the twins, Huaerjie and Liumu. However, after discussing for a while, the couple came up with a name that sounded smooth and appropriate.
However, when Xiaobao saw the adults naming his younger brother and thought of his younger brother's adorable smile, he was also very moved and quietly pulled the corner of Lei Li's clothes.
I asked him shyly in a low voice, "Uncle, can Xiaobao give his brother a name? Xiaobao can recognize many words now, and Xiaobao also wants to give his brother a name."
"Xiaobao wants it too?"
Lei Li was amused when he heard this. Seeing Xiao Bao nod his head, he gave him a pen and a piece of paper.
"Think of a name for your little brother, Xiaobao. He likes Xiaobao so much, maybe he'll catch Xiaobao's paper ball."
"Um!"
Xiaobao nodded heavily, his eyes sparkling. He found a chair to put the paper on, thought for a while, and wrote down a few words very seriously and solemnly.
Little Zhu Shuo also wants to participate.
But he dozed off right after lunch and was taking a nap now. When he woke up, he would realize that he had missed the important opportunity to name his brother and would surely cry with regret.
Sister Huaer was manually muted by her father Liu Qishu. Don't expect a little girl who can fry cow dung to come up with a very elegant and auspicious name.
Xiaohua doesn’t know many words yet and can’t come up with a name.
The drawing of lots is about to begin.
After Xiaobao solemnly placed the paper balls on the baby's crib, there were already more than a dozen paper balls on the crib. Lei Li then put the baby in the crib.
The little baby didn't understand what to do yet. He looked at his father with his big black eyes, his little fists were not open, and bubbles of saliva were coming out of his mouth.
"Baby, pick a note you like."
Lei Li coaxed the baby, but the baby still didn't understand. He looked around at everyone with his dark eyes, not understanding why they were all staring at him.
"Like Dad."
Zhou Yi picked up the paper ball and demonstrated it to the baby, then put the paper ball back and poked it again. "Do you know how to pick up the paper ball like this? If you can't pick it up, just touch the paper ball. Touch whichever one you like."
“Ahh…”
After watching his father demonstrate several times, the baby seemed to think that he was playing with him. He waved his little fist and suddenly grabbed a small ball of paper.
The little finger pinched the paper ball, and the paper ball turned around and fell back, but everyone already knew which one he was holding.
"Open it and take a look."
Everyone was eagerly waiting, their hearts scratching like a cat, wondering who would be so lucky to be chosen by the baby.
Zhou Yi opened the paper ball.
There were three words written beautifully on it - Lei Jiang.
“……?”
There was a moment of complete silence.
Still a little confused.
Mengluo suddenly burst into laughter, and everyone reacted and laughed, and was so happy that the baby didn't know what everyone was laughing at, so he also grinned and laughed.
"Who named this?"
Meng Luo laughed so hard that tears came out, and he doubled over with his belly in his hands. "Why would they choose such a name? It's too funny! Ginger, hahahaha..."
"I named it."
Xiaobao whispered timidly.
Zhou Yi didn't laugh. He squatted down to look Xiao Bao in the eye and gently touched his head. "Xiao Bao, how did you come up with the idea of using ginger as a name?"
“Because, because…”
Seeing Zhou Yi's encouraging look, Xiao Bao mustered up the courage to say, "Uncle Yi said ginger has many uses. It can be used in cooking, treating illnesses, and making sugar. I think ginger is amazing, and I want my baby to be as amazing as ginger."
"But using ginger as a name is weird. Who uses ginger as a name?"
Mengluo responded subconsciously.
The people he knew were basically all rich kids like him. The names they chose were carefully thought out and had great meanings. They either hoped their sons would become successful or that they would be resourceful and become the top scholar.
Ginger.
It's a very down-to-earth name.
After hearing this, Xiaobao also felt that the name he had given was not good, so he said, "Then, let your brother catch it again, and don't put mine in."
The bark of a tree, the name of a person.
A good name is very important to a person. Those who only care about their own preferences and ignore the wishes of their children do not think about or subconsciously ignore the harm that an inappropriate name can cause to a child.
But Zhou Yi didn't want to hurt Xiaobao's feelings, and Xiaobao also meant well.
"Need not."
Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "Put Xiaobao's paper ball in there too, and let your brother catch it again. If he catches Xiaobao's paper ball again, use Xiaobao's name."
"If my little brother grows up and wants to change his name, we will respect him and let him choose a name he likes. What do you think, Xiaobao?"
"good."
Xiaobao nodded slightly.
Lei Li also patted his little head and smiled gently, "Xiaobao, learn a few more characters. When your brother wants to change his name, Xiaobao can help him think of a new name he likes."
"OK!"
Xiaobao pursed his lips and smiled shyly, "Xiaobao will study hard, learn many characters, and think of many nice names for his brother."
"Then my brother will be dazzled by the choices."
Zhou Yi also smiled.
Miao Fulang looked at Xiaobao's smiling face and felt warm in his heart. Li Ge'er is a good person, and Zhou Yi is also a good person. They are really a perfect couple.
Zhang Daqiang, a thick-skinned man, for some reason suddenly had an idea and secretly held Miao Fulang's hand.
Miao Fulang's hands froze.
But he didn't break free.
Zhang Daqiang felt happy immediately.
Lei Li caught their little tricks and teased them. His rough face felt a little embarrassed, and he smiled and held Miao Fulang's hand tightly.
The drawing of lots began again. All the adults, including the restless Sister Huaer, concentrated and watched the baby's movements closely.
The baby looked at the shuffled paper ball, grabbed it with his little hands, stopped here, thought there, and seemed to know that it was a serious matter.
Finally caught another ball of paper.
The little baby held it tightly, grinning happily, and gave it to Lei Li as if he were presenting a treasure, babbling.
"Look what it is."
Mengluo urged impatiently.
Lei Li opened the paper ball, feeling a bit amused and helpless, and spread it out for everyone to see. "It's Xiaobao's paper ball again. It seems that Bao Bao really likes Xiaobao."
Thunder Ginger.
Three beautiful black words on the white paper.
When Xiaobao saw that it was really his paper ball, his face flushed and he couldn't help but smile, "Uncle Li, can we call our baby brother Ginger Brother from now on?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
"yes."
Liu Yeer smiled and said, "From now on, Baobao's younger brother's full name will be Lei Shengjiang. Xiaobao can call him Baobao or he can call him Shengjiang."
"But my little brother still doesn't understand that this is his name. Xiaobao, call him more often. Maybe he will soon understand that Shengjiang is calling him."
"OK!"
Xiao Bao smiled and said seriously, "Xiao Bao will call Jiang brother more often and play with Jiang brother more often!"
"Me too, me too!"
Sister Huaer immediately jumped up and waved her hands, saying cheerfully, "Xiaomu and I often call him Brother Ginger and play with him!"
She started to act coquettishly towards Lei Li again, "Uncle, can Xiaomu and I stay at your place? We also want to play with our little brothers Xiaobao and Shengjiang!"
Lei Li first looked at his uncle and cousin. Seeing them nod in agreement, he smiled and said, "Okay, but Brother Shengjiang needs to sleep for a long time. While he's still asleep, Sister Huaer and Xiaomu have to learn to read with Xiaobao. Only after they learn the words can they play with him."
"Okay, okay!"
Sister Huaer had no idea how boring and tedious studying was. She thought it was a game, nodded excitedly, and took Xiaobao's hand and said,
"From now on, Xiaomu and I will learn to read with Xiaobao! Xiaobao can also live with us at our cousin's place. Our cousin will make lots of delicious food, and we can even go shopping in the evening!"
